Here is a more recent pic with the Boyds. They're polished not chrome.



Sorry to hijack your thread.

It's cool. I didn't mean to sound pretensious(sp?) up there. I liked those 20's I had too. They were nice wheels but a bit too heavy at 75lbs with the tires. Plus I wanted a bit more flash and I wanted the Boyds since I saw them on the red Belltech truck.

It's funny you mention the 04 tailgate protector. I had gotten the 04 style before I bought the one that's on there now but I like the straight line of the old one rather than the mounting tab styled 04 protector and traded them before I had it painted. I do want some 03+ tails though!

well, a stock rim is:
16 x 7 x 31mm (5" backspace)

your wheel is:
20 x 9.5 x 10mm (5.4" backspace)

You have increased your width by 2.5", but only increased your backspace by 0.4" - only you can decide what is too much. Personally, I'd go with more backspacing (higher positive offset number)
